Do you drink expensive wine?

For what I buy at home, I don't usually spend that much. $60-$70 is usually max, and the majority of my modest ~200 bottle collection is in the $25-50 range. I have found plenty of wine that I enjoy in that price range and a few good "daily drinker" wines that are less. I do own a few wines that retail for $100+ that I didn't spend that much money on - it is fun to find the deals!

Almost exactly in the same boat as you. "Daily" drinkers are $25 or less (at discount), saving the library collection from overzealous drinking into. But that row of Dominus & Diamond Creek does want to get poked every now and then...

I love wine, and intend to have a cellar once i settle down, but being expensive doesn't make a bottle good so it's a worthless criteria unless you're just buying for status. Due to budget constraints, I try to keep under $30 most of the time. Most of the stuff I drink is probably in the 17-$25 range. Occasionally I will buy something expensive, but it's rare. A subscription to WS helps me avoid mistakes when I do.

Is that a Canadian saying? I am not familiar with that one.

I like wine. Most of what I purchase is in the $15-$35 range. Whites or Reds really doesn't matter just so it's smooth. I always enjoy a glass with dinner.

I quit drinking several years ago - when Boones Farm increased its prices from $1.80 a bottle to a little over $2.00 and it became too expensive to drink. Same with cigarettes - darn things went from .35¢ a pack, all the way up to .40¢ and I sure as heck couldn't afford to spend over $140 a year to smoke.

Love hearing from all you rich folks though.
